Brunsvigia gariepensis, commonly known as the Gariep March lily, is a geophyte belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family.[1] The species is endemic to the Northern Cape where the plant has a range of 260–680 km2 in the Bushmanland between Aggeneys and Pofadder. There are two known subpopulations, perhaps a third, and all are threatened by mining activities.[2]
